When you get only part of the numbers it is hard to see the whole picture.
1 How many people live in the United States?
2 How many pay taxes?
3 How many people make up the top 2%?
4 What are the income levels broken down by percentage?
If you have a family of four and only the dad works he is in the top 25% wage earners for that family.
The last fiqure I saw was 2001 stats, an income $44,700 put you in the top 25%.
